Will, how does the (untested) following look like? The rationale is that
we must deal with the fact that CPU supporting 32-bits el0 may appear at
any time and those may not intersect housekeeping CPUs (housekeeping CPUs
are CPUs that are not part of nohz_full=. If nohz_full= isn't used then
it's cpu_possible_mask). If there is a housekeeping CPU supporting el0 32bits
then it will be disallowed to be ever offlined. But if the first mismatching
CPU supporting el0 that pops up is not housekeeping then we may end up
with that CPU disallowed to be offlined + later if a housekeeping CPU appears
that also supports 32bits el0 will also be disallowed to be offlined. Ideally
it should turn back the previous CPU to be offlinable but there may be
other things that have forbidden that CPU to be offline so...

Oh well I made a mess.
